Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Within this commercial and marketing role, the day-to-day tasks included conducing daily and weekly orderbooks, replying to any email enquiries, creating and sending quotations to customers, conducting monthly excel reports and updating both the BICON website and any product datasheets.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given lots of responsibility during my placement, and I was trusted to complete these individually. Although the level of responsibility in this role is quite high, help is always available if you need it, and work can be shared across the team.

Additionally, as i was communicating regularly via email and phone calls with our customers, my communications skills have progressed significantly,

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
My placement year at Prysmian has flown by, and this is due to both the working environment within the office and the variety of tasks that I was completing. Every day was different to the other, and I felt that my work was actually valued by my team. I have been able to push myself in both my commercial and marketing role, and use software that i had no prior experience of. Throughout my placement, i couldn't have asked for a more supportive team.
